Knitting Al Fresco

Well, it was a chilly one yesterday at the Festival Centre Art Market. Had to keep knitting to stay warm. When you can see your breath in November in Adelaide, you get the idea.

Baby Beantoes continue to be a bestseller. My offer at the moment is: buy the yarn from me and you get the Beantoe pattern free. This design is worked toe up and in infant as well as toddler versions. Here's the sock with a friend, Mallory, who came to inspect my work.

If I don't have the colour you want in stock, I am happy to order it for you. Due to popularity, pre-ordering is often necessary. It's worth the wait.

About Stranded In Oz Yarns and Fibres

SIOz is a fibre arts business run by Melissa Deutsch Scott who hand-dyes yarns and fibres in Port Adelaide, SA

"I'm am a firm believer in supporting the people and businesses around my home and that's why I've chosen to trade from my local market. So come up to the Port for a pleasant Sunday of shopping, eating, dolphin-watching, and of course to come and see and feel SIOz yarns and fibres."

SIOz stocks unique fibres from around Australia and the world. At the moment, I'm featuring Australian coloured merino and ethically-traded fibres produced in a small workshop just outside of Katmandu. In addition, I always stock soy yarns and Tofutsies, the soy sock yarn. Soy is an environmentally-friendly fibre that's especially good for Aussie warm weather.
